jython

Getting Started

Glassfish

  • Download glassfish-v3-web-preview.zip from v3 Preview.

    Note: This is smaller Web Profile Preview.

  • Extract the GlassFish archive. I installed to:

    c:\tools\glassfishv3\

  • Start GlassFish:

    \tools\glassfishv3\bin\asadmin.bat start-domain

  • To check GlassFish is running, browse to http://localhost:8080/, or for the admin interface, http://localhost:4848/

  • Install the jython container:

    • Make sure the update tool is installed:

      cd \tools\glassfishv3
bin\updatetool.bat

    • Run the update tool:

      updatetool\bin\updatetool.exe

    • Select GlassFish v3 Jython Container… and click Install.

  • Set the path to your jython home:

    \tools\glassfishv3\bin\asadmin create-jvm-options -Djython.home="C\:\\tools\\jython2.5rc3"

Django

  • Download and extract the Django archive.

  • Install Django into jython:

    cd Django-1.0.2-final
jython setup.py install

Project

  • Create a test Django project (in this example the project is called django_on_glassfish):

    C:\tools\jython2.5rc3\Lib\site-packages\django\bin\django-admin.py startproject django_on_glassfish

  • Don’t forget to set the path to your jython home (see above).

  • Change into your project folder and deploy the application:

    cd django_on_glassfish
\tools\glassfishv3\bin\asadmin deploy .

    Note: If the command fails, check the GlassFish logs in glassfish/domains/domain1/logs/server.log (my original deployment failed because my jython.home was not set correctly).

  • Browse to http://localhost:8080/django_on_glassfish (in this example django_on_glassfish is the name of my project).
